Consumer healthcare giant Haleon has announced the appointment of Dawn Allen as its next Chief Financial Officer. She will assume the role on 1 November 2024.
Allen will replace Tobias Hestler, who is stepping down for better work balance amid the management of a long-term health condition. He will remain within the business until the end of the year to support the transition.
Allen is currently the CFO at Tate & Lyle. She previously had a 25-year career at Mars, where she was most recently Global CFO and VP Global Transformation.
Brian McNamara, Haleon’s Chief Executive, commented: “We are delighted to have appointed Dawn as our next CFO. She has a proven track record as a CFO with extensive consumer and international experience and will be a great addition to our executive team.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank Tobias for his significant contribution in creating Haleon as a standalone business and for the close partnership over the last few years. He has played a critical role in shaping and building Haleon’s foundations and putting us on a path for long-term success.”
Allen added: “I am very excited to join the team at Haleon. Its clear purpose and fascinating journey through separation and beyond sets a strong foundation for the future. I am looking forward to help shape the next phase of the journey.”
